Quick reference:

• bellatrix start - Starts a new EC2 instance.

• bellatrix provision - Apply a set of commands (through SSH) to any host, not only EC2 instances.

• bellatrix bewitch - Start a new instance, applies a configuration to it and finally saves it into a new ami.

• bellatrix burn - Burn a running instance into a new ami.

• bellatrix copy2s3 - Copy a file or directory to a S3 bucket.

• bellatrix perm2ami - Give permissions to other accounts to launch your ami.

• bellatrix stop - Stop a given instance or all of them if you pass the “all” argument. Stopping an instance will shut-down the instance but preserve data on the EBS volume. After stopping you will only be charged $0.10 per allocated GB per month (http://aws.amazon.com/ebs/).

• bellatrix terminate - Terminate a given instance or all of them if you pass the “all” parameter. Terminating an instance will shut it down and delete data on the EBS volume. Your instance/s won’’t produce any cost after you terminate them.

For more information just execute bellatrix -h or bellatrix command -h
